5.3 to P Nissanka, chopped on, Archer breaks through! Length ball outside off and Nissanka chases it, only to see an under-edge cannon back into the stumps. He's given his side a good start, but again would have loved to go on. 56/1 19.4 to P Rathnayake, holes out to deep midwicket this time! Bethell doesn't have to move, a slower ball, drawing the heave across the full length. Can't get the timing but a fine innings all the same. 187/5 | ||||||||

12.2 to BKG Mendis, top-edged sweep, Rashid gathers at short backward square! It was a good line from Dawson, holding it back in flight, dipping on the full length and keeping that front pad very much in play. Mendis rushed his shot across the line and couldn't get any distance through the stroke. Another incomplete innings from a man in fluent form. 128/3 | ||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 25 | 1 | 6.25 | 11 | 1 | 0 | |
13.4 to MD Shanaka, screaming googly, up goes the finger! That is magical bowling, whether it is out or not... it could conceivably have done too much, but Shanaka read that as though it was ancient Greek. Pace off once more, looping above the eyeline, dipping from outside off, ripping into the back leg as he climbed across another slog, and it would have thumped leg stump!. 131/4 | ||||||||

0.6 to PD Salt, edged and taken! Canny from Pathirana, floating up the slower ball, and Salt can only divert a top edge to wide slip! Full and wide of the stumps, he was just looking to get bat on and ball and (hopefully) watch it race away. Instead, it pops up for a simple catch. 10/1 12.3 to HC Brook, ridiculous shot, but nearly puiled it off! Brook ducks into the shorter ball, chases it with a scoop over the keeper's head, but he can't get the distance! Hasaranga tracks back to claw it down at short long-stop, and a mighty cameo ends. 130/4 | ||||||||

9.1 to JC Buttler, Belted high in the air, out to deep cover! Huge wicket ... Buttler had a wipe through the wide line, got it on the outside half of his bat, and it's an excellent running catch from Rathnayake, who clings on with a dive. Wellelage strikes immediately on his re-introduction. 81/3 | ||||||||
